She couldn't resist the temptation to settle the score one last time after feeling betrayed for all these years. She has been making offhand remarks, dropping hints here and there, and soliciting help in any way she could to get Prince out of her system while simultaneously making some cash.. A brooding broad she became. The boyfriend's didnt work, the shelter didn't work, that wretched ratchet show didn't work, selling off your most beloved and cherished items from your marriage didnt work, adopting a child didnt work... something has to work!

Many of them have used certain mediums to benefit from the man. Some ran and started church, others ran to facebook, some to twitter, some started painting as if Picasso had possessed them, some started touring, some resurrrected singing careers(sit down Sharon).

But, but, but, the book! This might work because now the world knows me through Prince and they will pay me to read it! I get to make money off of his name finally! It's her right, so ask yourself, you think this is out of love? Maybe in Tagalog it is.

The problem is, in English, selling this story would best be described as a shrewed definition of success when you diminish in any way the hand that fed you.This has nothing to do with Prince. Ulitmate betrayal. To the public square!

in the book, prince pleaded 2 her to return to his hotel room to flush his pills down the toilet...prince had an opioid problem, some of his fans are delusional to this fact.






Well, did she look at the labels on the pills she was flushing, just to get an idea of the problem ? Wouldn't any wife ? What were they ?? So what if he was self-medicating a bit to deal with the baby, the doctor probably gave it to him. A few alleged instances does not a drug addict make. She needs to have a seat and rest her ass for her impending drag.

-/In my version of the book she said he told her he had migraines and took to many aspirian with wine. In my version she said he told to throw them away but she did not bother to see what they were😳 Makes no sense whatsoever.

. How as his wife do not know what is going on? Also once again so what if he was knocking back wine his child just died and she never saw him taking any pills so why go there did it make him the devil in the flesh.

Well it seems after numerous sites I visit, I am seeing most negative comments coming from here. So once again the org doesn't dictate or have any influence of public opinion and purchasing habits when it comes to P. People on other sites that I visited encourage Mayte to tell her story.

Outside the org, people are siding and rooting for Mayte. Especially women who also lost their child (ren). So as long as Mayte continues to do her, she is going to be okay. I also hope she is going to be okay as she dealing with her MS.

benni said: . Why is it so important to you? After all I am not going to be giving her any money. I think the people that are clamoring to buy this book and acting as if this space was Mayte org find her a lot more important than I do.


lol - It's not. But obviously it is to you because you keep posting about what she's doing and how she's posting this or that to IG or what videos she is posting, what she is doing, and how you have more on her that is not good. Phew! If I kept up with someone like that, it would be tiring. I don't keep up with Mayte like that. I have no desire or need to. I've posted on here because of all the hypocrisy, "I ain't going to be buying her book, but OMG! look what she said in this article in which she shares an excerpt of the book! She is scandalous!" No, she's just a woman who happened to be married to Prince and is writing about her experience.

You all are right. No one would be interested or know who she was if it weren't for who she had married. But that's beside the point. She is known and people are interested because of who she married. You can't change that.

I will defend anyone's right to tell their story, to speak their truth, to talk about what they've experienced. I don't know, maybe it's the social worker in me that knows that talking about difficult times helps one to come to terms with those times and begin the healing process. Or maybe it's because I've been silenced in the past, prevented from talking about things that I experienced and once I found my voice and began to speak up about my trauma, I've realized I would never attempt to silence another.

Will I buy her book? I don't know. Maybe, maybe not. I've not made up my mind yet. But hearing you all bashing her is causing me to lean towards buying it, just to support another woman who is being judged so harshly by others and to support not silencing someone from speaking their truth.



I just find it funny that those who profess the loudest against purchasing her book are on a thread discussing that book and an article with an excerpt from that book. If they truly weren't interested in the book, then they would have just ignored this thread after the first time they stated they weren't interested in the book or her. To keep coming back, implies definite interest. If you ain't interested, then whatchu doing here on a thread about the book? And if you ain't interested in what she is doing, why you keep posting things about what she is doing? shrug Sounds like interest in what she is doing, to me.



Well said. I also know a couple people who are going to order the book in result of how she is being drag.


So the more people bashing her the more support she is going to get. Haters are basically unpaid promoters.




What a stupid reason to buy the book. If youre interested in the story buy it. But why have a hissy fit and say youre buying it because somebody dragged Mayte and said Misty was a better dancer for instance (Mayte dragged Misty and said Misty copied her). Wow. People need to grow up.
Baby, you're a star.

Several things stand out to me after reading the excerpts..
Prince's faith was amazingly strong.
An amino would not of made a difference in the child's condition..Some idiots will probably think he was wrong not to agree to it.
Her parents basically gave her to Prince at 17.He didn't touch her until she was 19.He was a gentleman.
Until the end of time

Dying to know who you're talking about in the bolded? Also, I guess "Painting like Picasso" is Robin? Starting the church, Robia? but who is Sharon?

Thank you and I hope she will be and wish her well. Shame on people reading the book for free after saying they won't buy the book..some will read it just to be able to trash. As a migraine sufferer, it is not uncommon to have nausea and/or vomiting....just saying for those jumping on the druggie bandwagon.

I am not against Mayte writing this book- but how can you say that? I'm seeing a lot of negative comments towards her writing this book on Instagram.

He did have strong faith and his problem was not being married to someone equally yoked. God has a plan and Prince accepted what happened and moved on. I do not think he dragged out of bed to mean be dragged her out to try and make her move forward. After 20 years she still cannot see it.

We have seen him be called every name under the sun here and in the media over the years. We are adults. Nobody is scared. Now are you going to address this issue as a grown up? or is it time for your milk and cookies?

Exactly, dude was an open book. The only thing we did not know about the baby was the details of his apperance and his real name. Those two stupid nannies told a lot to the tabs. You know the two nannies that were trying to sell pics of the baby to the tabs and went to the police making accusations that were not found to be true. Sounds like P was surrounded by money grubbing and explortive people all around

Awww, you're both scared. It's okay.

I don't argue with people about my opinions. Scram. I said what I said.

I am just going by based on the places I went to. shrug Like Mayte, I am speaking about my truth. And no organism in this planet can able to take that away regardless how bitter they are.

I got a life. I dont have time to even check her on instagram much less stalking on there. It is funny how the ones who can't stand knows more about what is going with her than the ones who doesn't have issues with her.

I agree. I cant believe people doesn't know the difference between drug dependency and drug addiction. I maintain that people will be intelligent and compassion enough not to view me as a drug addict who need meds to battle with diabetes along other conditions I have. People who knew him the most maintain he was in pain and he took drugs as necessary and never saw him using drugs for recreational.

It doesn't matter the reason because at the end of the day its their money, not yours. So unless, you have any financial input or help buying that book, you have no business trying to tell others the appropriate choice to buy the book.

But obviously it is to you because you keep posting about what she's doing and how she's posting this or that to IG or what videos she is posting, what she is doing, and how you have more on her that is not good. Phew! If I kept up with someone like that, it would be tiring. I don't keep up with Mayte like that. I have no desire or need to. I've posted on here because of all the hypocrisy, "I ain't going to be buying her book, but OMG! look what she said in this article in which she shares an excerpt of the book! She is scandalous!" No, she's just a woman who happened to be married to Prince and is writing about her experience.

You all are right. No one would be interested or know who she was if it weren't for who she had married. But that's beside the point. She is known and people are interested because of who she married. You can't change that.

I will defend anyone's right to tell their story, to speak their truth, to talk about what they've experienced. I don't know, maybe it's the social worker in me that knows that talking about difficult times helps one to come to terms with those times and begin the healing process. Or maybe it's because I've been silenced in the past, prevented from talking about things that I experienced and once I found my voice and began to speak up about my trauma, I've realized I would never attempt to silence another.

Will I buy her book? I don't know. Maybe, maybe not. I've not made up my mind yet. But hearing you all bashing her is causing me to lean towards buying it, just to support another woman who is being judged so harshly by others and to support not silencing someone from speaking their truth.



I just find it funny that those who profess the loudest against purchasing her book are on a thread discussing that book and an article with an excerpt from that book. If they truly weren't interested in the book, then they would have just ignored this thread after the first time they stated they weren't interested in the book or her. To keep coming back, implies definite interest. If you ain't interested, then whatchu doing here on a thread about the book? And if you ain't interested in what she is doing, why you keep posting things about what she is doing? shrug Sounds like interest in what she is doing, to me.



Well said. I also know a couple people who are going to order the book in result of how she is being drag.


So the more people bashing her the more support she is going to get. Haters are basically unpaid promoters.


My first post. I bought Mayte's book because haters. Thank you to those who hate Mayte so much!

Dying to know who you're talking about in the bolded? Also, I guess "Painting like Picasso" is Robin? Starting the church, Robia? but who is Sharon?

Sharon Nelson. She was trying to resurrect the "jazz" in her voice with Londell as representation. Autotune failed miserably so she had to reduce her tracks to just "instrumentals". I think you know who ran to the church.

Militant said: Militant, you summarize this so well. It's a shame that only a handful of orgers actually READ and comprehended what you were saying. I look forward to Mayte's book just as I will others to come. From my perspective, their stories are the closest any of us will ever get to understanding the man we all came to love and admire. Let their stories be told! We all know the Prince that he wanted us to know - he was a master of controlling the image, the enigma and the mystery, but I believe that there was a person that none of us ever was allowed to see. Reading the excerpt that was released left me a little shaken.....his joy of the prospect of being a father, the faith that they would get thru a difficult pregnancy and even the description of the birth of their son, as difficult as it was, reading that brought home to me that this man was human, just like you or I and reacting to a heartbreaking tragedy. Suddenly, he doesn't seem so different than anyone else. People cope in different ways and often it may not make sense but none of us can judge another. I sincerely hope that Prince found peace with his loss before his passing and that Mayte finds healing as well. I support Mayte fully on this endeavor and thank her for sharing her memories with us.

Soooo you never looked at Prince as a human being before reading his private stuff? I get what you're saying but thats just sad. In addition to the media having a field day with this.

Well said by both of you. I don't get all the bashing either. Yes, other people loved Prince too like Sheila and the Revolution, yet what they are doing is ok? I dont see any difference between those associates, proteges and their actions and Mayte. Maybe they are showing appreciation and love for Prince by performing, writing, singing, whatever. People mature and grow out of phases in their life and I like to think Prince would have still loved all these folks regardless and not judged. Although a strong reaction was described upon Prince clearly seeing THEIR son, it doesnt mean he didnt love him. Maye carried the child, Prince held him. In the big scheme of things, Mayte writing a book about someone she loved, is not a big deal. It took some courage to write the book since more than likely she knew the pushback and dislike she would receive although coming from a place of love.

He did have strong faith and his problem was not being married to someone equally yoked. God has a plan and Prince accepted what happened and moved on. I do not think he dragged out of bed to mean be dragged her out to try and make her move forward. After 20 years she still cannot see it.

We are all in different evolving processes. This is Mayte's book, Mayte's perspective, Mayte's feeling. Why can't we appreciate Prince and Mayte's life altering experience she shares with us?

What a stupid reason to buy the book. If youre interested in the story buy it. But why have a hissy fit and say youre buying it because somebody dragged Mayte and said Misty was a better dancer for instance (Mayte dragged Misty and said Misty copied her). Wow. People need to grow up.

It doesn't matter the reason because at the end of the day its their money, not yours. So unless, you have any financial input or help buying that book, you have no business trying to tell others the appropriate choice to buy the book.




Maybe you just didnt understand my point. Its ok.
Carry on.
Baby, you're a star.

Meet me in another world, space and joy

I am just going by based on the places I went to. shrug Like Mayte, I am speaking about my truth. And no organism in this planet can able to take that away regardless how bitter they are.

I got a life. I dont have time to even check her on instagram much less stalking on there. It is funny how the ones who can't stand knows more about what is going with her than the ones who doesn't have issues with her.

Nevermind her minons stalking people and sucking on her hookah and carrying in about Prince's migraines.
